FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - Following the previous session's setback, the German stock market showed resilience on the final trading day of the week. Despite a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, oil prices—currently the primary barometer for market concerns regarding inflation and economic growth—have yet to exert fresh downward pressure this Friday. The Dax edged up 0.1 percent to 23,833 points in early Xetra trading, putting the index on track for a weekly recovery of nearly three percent.
The MDax, which tracks medium-sized German companies, rose by 0.2 percent to 30,104 points. Meanwhile, the Eurozone's benchmark EuroStoxx 50 index also gained 0.2 percent./bek/jha/
